Prayers for Your Soul

A friend just died. Cancer.

She's just as young as me.

I have no idea what to say to her best friends or her family. I am sure no words could ever console them of such a sudden passing.

I feel like crying yet we were not that close, what more for those who were? I remember you winning a landslide victory over me on the "Secretary" position for the whole junior class. Then again, I remember you winning for the "Muse" position, again over me. Until now I have no idea why an introvert like me have been nominated to run against the fun, beautiful, social butterfly like you. It was quite a flattering experience.

I remember our little chats along the high school grounds. They're usually about you teasing me about a guy. I even remember you buttering up this certain guy, who 12 years later became my husband.

My heart is saying a prayer for you, my friend. They say those who die go to a better place. It helps a little to know that your pain is gone and you are now smiling with our Creator.

I look out the window and see that it's a very gloomy day. Large dark clouds all over but a little sun is peeping; just enough so we know it is there. I dedicate this day to you.

One and a Half

I just realized that if I am a stay at home mom/wife, then that means I am a "full time mom/wife." I am with Baby 24/7.

I also realized that I am working at home, a few hours per day. Usually while Baby is sleeping. So that would be my "part time job."

Hmm, so that makes me 1 and a half of a person.

Maybe that's why I've forgotten how to relax.

Stress Baking

If there's a thing as stress-eating then there's also what I call STRESS-BAKING.

I felt a little down (frustrated? Feeling trapped in this island) that I see so much people (via Facebook of course) witness a lot of important events this week. Parties, concerts, mall sales, getaways, cheap airfares, etc. etc.

Specifically for today - the F1 Qualifying in Singapore and the UAAP Cheerdance competition in the Philippines.

While on this part of my world, way too uneventful. :( The most recent 'event' that happened here is when our house got burglarized while we were in vacation. But I'd whine about that on a separate article.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Mommy duties and everyday with Baby is "eventful" enough.

But I am talking about social events. Happenings that will tickle the youth in you. Here? Zzzzz.

I was too frustrated that I wanted to stay away from the internet. Out of nowhere I started to mash them bananas, preheat the oven, and bake some banana muffins!
